Hello Geoffrey, Anthony and COGers
We saw the painted snipe at :Lake Road lake when Geoffrey was also there in 2017. Our rural (Windellama) commute to and from town
can deviate to the 'lake' so I have followed the earth moving and subsequent sterility of the dry, droughted lake. Even after the early rains
commenced and the lake started to refill, it was rarely of interest. However in the past year it has filled to its previous size and has 'matured' to a pleasantly
eutrophic and insect-productive waterbody with diverse attendant birds. I can see no evidence of 'slurry' run-off from the farm.
Yesterday the Pink-eared Ducks, Red-kneed and Black-fronted Dotterels were still present and active +++++. Now well worth a detour, although
no painted snipe (yet ?)
In contrast, the whistling ducks are no longer consistently present at Trucking Yard and, if present, are few in number and also appear absent from
other local sloughs.
